The genomic basis of heat stress adaptation in indigenous Ethiopian cattle from arid and hot-humid climates

This study identifies genomic adaptation mechanisms in Ethiopian zebu cattle to arid and hot-humid climates through whole-genome sequencing and selection scans.

A framework for defining livestock ecotypes based on ecological modelling and exploring genomic environmental adaptation: the example of Ethiopian village chicken

This study defines livestock ecotypes using ecological modeling and genomics, identifying adaptive genetic signatures in Ethiopian village chickens.

The natural adaptation and human selection history of African sheep genomes

The paper analyzes African sheep genomes to identify genetic groups and selection targets related to environmental adaptation and human-driven traits.

Integrated environmental and genomic analysis reveals the drivers of local adaptation in African indigenous chickens

The paper identifies environmental drivers of adaptation in Ethiopian indigenous chickens and finds genomic regions associated with altitude, water scarcity, and feeding behavior.

Novel and known signals of selection for fat deposition in domestic sheep breeds from Africa and Eurasia

This study identifies novel and known selection signals for fat deposition in African and Eurasian sheep breeds using SNP data and statistical methods.
